    The Pooh Meet and Greet had not opened for the day yet.
  • Page Number: 34
    Hard to believe someone could take 120 minutes out in the Florida weather for a picture with Winnie the Pooh... especially after all he has done.. kicking Mr. Toad out here in Orlando and my Country Bears in Anaheim!!

    After the show he packed up all his gear and moved on.

    Time for a quick pit stop. Two cast members checking things out.

    No one in the smoking area so I can show how the smoking area is set up and behind it is a grassy area for service dogs. Think its odd they are stuck with the smokers..

  • Page Number: 72
    As it let up a bit I worked my way around to a seat to watch the storm and try and stay dry.
    Another burst of rain.

    The cast member you see in the planter was clearing drains to remove some of the mini ponds that started.
    Not many guests out dancing in the rain.

    The characters still came out, but walked to cover under the PeopleMover track.
    Decided to go for a ride on the PeopleMover.
